I am installing the interior on my 1929 Tudor sedan and the instructions say to put the front windlace under a "metal finish strip" which is fastened to the front body pillar by rivets. Does anyone know what this piece is called and would you have any? 2 are needed, one for each side. Thanks, Bob.

I don't know if it's reproduced, but you might try Bert's in Denver for a pair of original trim strips. I guess they might be called windlace retainers.

As stated above the 2 peices are refered to as A-45363 Retainer (Coupe pillar windlace)...there should be plenty of these strips around as they fit more than 1 body style.
Also, is there a thin strip of cardboard on the Windlace Assembly? If not there should be as this helps in the placement of both the retainer and the windlace.

BTW I checked Mac's and the piece that they sell is a straight piece that needs to be drilled and bent to conform to the door jam. In case anyone is interested.

When I first did my 29 coupe I used the aluminum strip from the repro aluminum rain gutter, I bent it and cut it to fit.
